XmStringTableToXmString(3) A convenience function that converts a compound string table to a single compound string

SYNOPSIS


#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmString XmStringTableToXmString(
XmStringTable table,
Cardinal count,
XmString break_component);

DESCRIPTION

XmStringTableToXmString takes as input table of compound strings and a specified string component (such as a tab) and returns a single compound string consisting of each of the elements of table concatenated together with a single copy of break_component inserted between each element.

table
Specifies an XmStringTable containing the compound strings to be converted.
count
Specifies the number of compound strings in table.
break_component
Specifies the XmStringComponent that will be inserted in the result to separate the individual elements of table. The most useful types will be XmSTRING_COMPONENT_SEPARATOR and XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAB. Refer to the XmStringComponentType(3) reference page for a complete list of possible component types. Note, however, that the XmSTRING_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN component is not a possible type.

RETURN

Returns a new XmString. The function will allocate space to hold the returned compound string. When the application no longer needs the returned compound string, the application should call XmStringFree.
